FEATURES THE REPORT AND THE DECISION.
The papers handed in by Mr. Stetson consist of re-
mort and decision In the report Mr.. SetsOn declares
that Central Labor Union never political body,
and makes the formal finding that the United Labor
party upward of 10000 votes in the election for
Mayor and that neither the Irving Hall Democracy nor
the Labor party that number of votes
The decision is devoted to review of the evidence.
The referee declares that the 10000 votes pledged to
Henry George und oubtcdy cast for that candidate
by the Central Labor Union political party Deductng
this number from g. 100, the total the remaining
IS 100 votes would be insufficient to entite any other
party finding in its favor 80 one the referee says
has appeared before him TO claim prove that any
other party the Central Labor Union Political party
had cast any part the for Mr. George hut the
Progressive Labor party had submitted papers in the
pcadings that the Irving Hall Democracy had
cast 10000 Even this so, the Central
Labor Union party had cast $4,000 votes.
The referee then proceeds To the question whether the
Central Labor Union party of November, lSs6. exists
to-day. and If under what name. He holds that That
party does exist under the name of the United Labor
party, and he adds that aware Of the facts had
the slightest doubt of this between January and
August IL 1ss7 The secession of members on or after
August l. last cannot the manifest intention

A NEW Organization CONTEMPLATED.
Going into details Mr. SteSon declares that the report
of the Clarendon Hall Conference Committee To The
Central Labor Union. which created it, contemplated
new organization different in character from the tnlon
because it was be political and different In compost
ton because to embrace other than members ol
the bodies then constituting it. The George Campaign
Committee not restricted to the fall campaign as
urged by the Progressive people and all its members
had proceeded the theory that this continuing
political movement"
This was further made by the fact that the

the party its success in the late campaign

convention that very evening assumed the of tho
United Labor party and continued 10 act under that
before the formal adoption of its new constitution
The tweny four district organizations at the convention
were the repositories of the political power organized
BY the Ira lie ana Labor Conference AT Clarendon II all in
september. 1856 and it cannot be assumed that they
were all in undertaking to preserve ana con
tnue extraordinary political power that they had
developed"
